Agent to run for council president

Real estate agent and political newcomer Grace Borrani plans to announce her candidacy for City Council president at 6:30 p.m. Borrani, who is fluent in Spanish and grew up in Yonkers, graduated from Sacred Heart High School before earning a degree in accounting from the College of Mount St. Vincent in the Bronx. She owns the Borrani Realty Corp., a Vredenburgh Avenue brokerage founded by her parents. A registered Republican who has never held elected office, Borrani says she plans to seek the Conservative and Independence parties' endorsements.

"I'm not a professional politician, nor do I intend to become one," Borrani told The Journal News. "I believe the city of Yonkers will benefit from my business experience."

The current council president, Democrat Chuck Lesnick, is term limited out at the end of this year. Also running for the job is former city Councilman Liam McLaughlin, a Republican, and Michael Rotanelli, a Democrat.
